### Lot Information

Lot 1

The contract notice for the Dundonald International Ice Bowl (DIIB) Bowling Package was advertised on 5 March 2021 with the PQQ being issued on this date. The ITT was issued on 25 April 2022 and closed on 01 July 2022 at which point an evaluation was completed and QUBICAAMF were informed they were the preferred bidder in the process and their tender price was accepted on August 19 2022. The intention of this procurement process is that the appointed Contractor for the Bowling and Associated works will be novated to the Main Contractor and will become a Sub Contractor to the Main Contractor. Therefore, this Contract could only be awarded and novated to the Main Contractor once Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council had appointed them. Due to circumstances which could not have been foreseen at the time, there has been a number delays in the procurement process for the Main Contractor and consequently the final award and novation of the bowling Package has not been completed in the time frame envisaged. Despite the best efforts of LCCC, the novation of the contract has not been completed in the time-frame envisaged. Due to this delay in the procurement process and inflationary pressures, LCCC are now required to increase the value of this contract. The agreed increase in value is anticipated to be 10percent of the originally tendered price. Given the delays in the procurement process, of the Main Contractor, the Programme has also been updated and it is anticipated the Bowling works will be completed in November 2026. Regulation 72(5) permits these changes as the value of the modification is below the relevant threshold mentioned in regulation 5 and 70 and the overall nature of the contract is not altered and the anticipated increase in value does not exceed 15percent of the original contract value.
